The Haunting in Georgia Shooting This Summer Sans Director Ti West

Looks as if Lionsgate’s Georgia-based companion piece to its hit spooker The Haunting in Connecticut is readying itself to begin lensing this summer, but not with the director who was previously attached.

The Winnipeg Free Press broke the news about the production start but left out the part about the previously announced Ti West (pictured right) directing. Bloody Disgusting was the first to do a little digging and has confirmed that West is no longer attached as he’s working on The Innkeepers for Dark Sky Films and Glass Eye Pix.

The Haunting in Georgia will focus on “the chilling story of four-year-old Heidi and her imaginary friends Mr. Gordy and Con. As Heidi reveals mysterious details about the two, her parents become concerned … could her playmates be more than make-believe? When the rest of the family begins experiencing terrifying phenomena — waking with deep gashes on their bodies–it seems there’s little they can do to stop the escalating nightmare.”
